HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 c1429W
Major BOYD-CARPENTER

asked the Prime Minister whether there is any Committee of any Government Department dealing with the provision of cloth goods for the inhabitants of the devastated areas in North-West France and Belgium; and, if so, which is the Department to which communications should be sent and from which information can be obtained?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

The Department dealing with this question is the Commission Internationale de Ravitaillement, Kingsway House, Kingsway, and communications should be sent to that Department, and information can be obtained from them. I may add that no licence is at present required to enable cloth goods to be exported to France and Belgium, and, as regards France, the French Ministry of Reconstruction have undertaker to distribute import licences following allocations agreed upon by the two Governments.
